Want to know how to get the most intense easter egg colors? Well, I’ve done the research and dyed a LOT of eggs. And this is what works. We used NotMartha’s dyeing instructions. They’re simple dye recipes using common store bought dye droppers, and she includes how much time the eggs need to stay in the dye bath to achieve certain shades.

I posted photos of the gorgeous dye baths, but never shared the actual eggs. Didn’t they turn out wonderfully?

P.S. — If you prefer natural dyes, here are instructions for every color in the rainbow, all made from common foods like cabbage and onions.
